Have have been telling friends about this and they seem to be in denial. Anything that decreases the size of usable beach or disrupts the view from the boardwalk are a big taboo

What were the winds like during that event. During sandy we had about 6 hours of gusts to around 60 out of the east followed by about 2 hours with gusts to 80 out of the south east.

Interesting about the balsam fir. I did extensive hiking around Long Island after sandy and determined that species acted different then expected. Oaks received by far the most damage. They tended to fully uproot. I was able to locate several full blow downs in a preserve near my house. 100 mature red and white oaks toppled like dominos. Meanwhile red maple, sweet gum, black gum and tulip right next to them where perfectly fine. My theory on why the oaks took such a comparable beating is due to their folliage. Oak leaves are very robust and thus tended to stay on the tree during the many hours of strong winds leading up to the period of extreme winds that caused the blow downs. Most of the other species had a good amount of their folliage stripped earlier in the storm.

September 15th

Pretty bad ass dust devil. I would say winds had to be 70+

I think it’s the warm/cool combo that’s enhancing our nor’easters. You have have the much warmer then normal waters to our NE and then the cold pool even further NE

150 for the first frozen. Should be an interesting winter with the developing weak nino and the Atlantic cold pool

Amazing there is any left at all. I assume some of it is blow off from the top that settles in the woods. Similar to what happens on mt. Washington

It’s a red maple

She’s a bumbling moron. And I hate talking that negatively about somone. But she’s really that bad. Lee is the best in the business and Jeff smith is also top notch. Bill Evans is meh in my opinion. He’s got a good screen presence for the general public. Amy has none of the other three’s qualities which makes me really wonder how she’s lasted so long.

That’s such a classic a radar loop for you guys. The northern spine is doing its thing!!!

Glad you guys are getting the goods now too!!! That should help thin out the crowds this weekend. Nothing like a gondola ride up with Stowe locals who headed south last weekend. Stratton broke it’s all time financial record Saturday!!

I can’t wait to get back up there tomorrow night. The amount of snow has been nothing short of epic. And that was before this event. How did you do in this one?

Moderate snow in nyc right now. You guys are so lucky, just missed this one here

Agreed, how many times have we seen the best banding set up well Nw of the forecast!!!

Can someone give a rundown of local on airs for 11pm I do not have access to tv at work

This guys supposed to be a pro? This is one of the most idiotic comments I have ever read. And that says allot around here.

Way way way out to lunch for the north shore. Their map makes no sense. They have the cape and islands in the heavier snow. I don’t think there has ever been a storm where the cape and islands had more snow then the north shore of Long Island in this setup.

Yeah, he nailed this one. As much as he does have a cold bias he is a good met. Great example of meteorology over modelology

I wouldn’t say that, we had a bunch of moderate events in 13/14 and 15/16. But yes the big events have Devine much more frequent

Yeah not to inflate the egos of our friends to the north, that’s just a great weather spot in general. The same area I’m taking about also has decent severe. Think the Worcester Mass tornado

Probably just away from the coast in New England. Lower elevation for heat but still access to big storms.

Big swell headed for Hawaii and the West Coast!!

Where is that? I’m assuming the gulf of Alaska?

Happy Thanks Giving from work!! (Double time) paying off my season pass for Stratton!!
